Traditionally, in our city apartments, pipes and radiators of the heating system are made of cast iron or from steel, our compatriots living in typical buildings are used to this. Moreover, processing metal pipes is quite easy, especially for the manufacture of complex products, laser cutting of metal from the company “New Project” has become. Cutting is carried out on any metals, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, many brands of steel. Now modern elements of the heating system are made from a variety of materials. In addition, many of us do not know about the obvious disadvantages of cast -iron or steel pipes, even about the main thing – the iron rusts, and even more so that the method of connecting these pipes, means the use of flax – is not perfect. Когда такие соединения начинают протекать, а происходит это, как правило, в зимний период, мы попросту разводим руками и ссылаемся на возраст монтажа. With the onset of spring, many owners of the old housing stock are thinking about replacing the heating system, some even decide to do so. Experts note that customers often ask for mounting a new heating and water supply system, using binding steel pipes, but without screw connections, and by welding. The only prerequisite for such installation is that the work should perform a special-high-class welder, and it would also be good if this specialist used not electric, but gas welding. At the same time, professionals indicate the complexity of such installation and the complexity of the performance of such work, calling this a “significant drawback”. First of all, because such pipes are difficult to bend, and they have to be incredibly accurately “adjusted”. Steel pipes do not differ in flexibility, besides this, they can burst at low ambient temperatures, or as a result of mechanical exposure. Of course, it is worth noting that the energy carrier is in such pipes, and this is usually water – entering into reaction with metal, causes corrosion, that is, to name steel pipes with ecologically clean ones – it is impossible.
Perhaps it is time to think about the use of more modern materials in the heating and water supply system, and replace steel pipes with polypropylene?
